Would it help to try multiple snapshots and see where this broke? I already had the 20040416 and 20040420 ones and they both fail (but 1.5.9 is ok)? I was really hoping for a "already fixed in CVS" response :), is there anything I can do to help track this down? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
